I don't think it's reaction time that's the problem when you're stoned. It's judgment. Judging distances, lines, speed, menaces, etc. Stoners do usually realize this and drive slower, but it's still there. And not all of them drive slower.

Chop it off, get a new jack... any repair place will be able to do that for peanuts. [quote]
Ehmm what repair place will do it for "peanuts"?
Standard minimum charge is often as high as $70.Thanks for all the helpful advice. Our local Tiscos have repaired it, for the modest charge of $20.

You make that sound like a deliberate decision. :)

Yeah, I doubt there's a conscious choice of the safety factors, just a feeling of nervousness caused by the perception that things are going too fast, that leads to excessive slowing. People who are stoned a lot (that I know) tend to recalibrate, although that could just be because they don't get so stoned due to tolerance. Hence the troubles with establishing a safe dosage. In truth, there's nothing safe about it, but in the past it was easy to get away with. It might actually continue to be, except in cases of clear impairment - I'm not sold that the cops can tell who's high just by looking at them, except in a profiley kind of way, which is pretty creepy, really. "He's young and brown, he's probably stoned", isn't really how our Force should be thinking.
